All-Star games next for Ducks
■A busy month of All-Star
games and award banquets
highlight January for Bellotti
and some of his players
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
The season is over, but the
games continue.
With the sweet taste of victory
still fresh in their mouths from the
Fiesta Bowl, some members of the
Oregon football team will be in
San Francisco on Saturday for the
East-West Shrine Game.
Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti
will coach the West team, which
will include the Ducks’ three bill
board boys: Joey Harrington, Mau
rice Morris and Rashad Bauman.
The billboards of Harrington in
New York, Morris in Los Angeles
and Bauman in San Francisco
raised the bar for these athletes,
and being invited to participate in
this All-Star game for college sen
iors helps vindicate their presea
son hype.
The 77th annual East-West
Shrine Game will take place at
10:30 a.m. Saturday at Pacific
Bell Park and will be broadcast
live on ESPN2.
But there’s more than just the
game itself — the players have
been down there all week seeing
the sights, touring children’s hos
pitals and working out for NFL
scouts.
They arrived Saturday, toured
Alcatraz prison and Pier 39 on
Sunday and be
gan practicing on
Monday.
The big day for
NFL personnel
was Wednesday,
when there were
player meetings with pro teams in
the morning, a player weigh-in and
then a three-hour NFL workday on
the Stanford campus.
Other Pacific-10 Conference no
table players on the West team in
clude Stanford’s Randy Fasani,
Arizona State’s Del von Flowers
and Washington State’s Billy New
man and Nakoa McElrath.
Bellotti will bring Oregon assis
tant coaches Nick Aliotti and Steve
Greatwood along with him, while
the legendary Bill Walsh will serve
as the team’s honorary coach. Bel
lotti’s counterpart on the East side
will be Illinois head coach Ron
Turner, whose Big 10 champion
team would have faced Oregon in
the Rose Bowl were it not for the
Bowl Championship Series host
ing the title game there this season.
The Shrine game isn’t the only
college All-Star game of the
month. Harrington and Bauman
will again team up in the Jan. 26
Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. A
week later, tight end Justin Peelle
will have his opportunity to im
press scouts when he participates
in the Hula Bowl Feb. 2 in Hawaii.
Also, Bellotti will be in Hous
ton, Texas, Jan. 17 as one of seven
finalists for the Paul “Bear”
Bryant Coach of the Year Award.
Others up for the award include
Colorado’s Gary Barnett, Nebras
ka’s Frank Solich and Miami’s
Larry Coker.

telling statistic to how the game
was contested before the final min
utes. The Golden Bears’ defense
held the Ducks to low shooting to
tals in the first half, and that “took
us out of our rhythm,” in the words
of several Oregon players.
“The biggest thing they did was
slow the game down and stop us
from running,” Ridnour said. “We
know they wanted a low-scoring
game, and for the most part they did
that until the last couple minutes.”
The Ducks shot 4 percent from the
floor in the first half, but took only 17
shots as the game was knotted at 30
heading into the break. Cal opened
the second half with a 7-2 run, but
the Ducks came back and the teams
traded baskets until the Bears broke
away at the five-minute mark.
The best line of the night belonged
to Jones, who finished with 22 points
and nine rebounds. Jones was instru
mental to the Ducks’ comeback, and
finished with seven points in the
I
game’s final five minutes.
“Freddie came up big,” Kent
said. “He was the difference, I
thought, in the game for us.”
After the game, Oregon team
members spoke of growing up with
the important conference win.
“For us to play like that and still
find a way to win was huge for our
team,” Ridnour said. “That’s a
game we probably would have lost
last year.”
The Ducks will test themselves
once more against the No. 14 Stan
ford Cardinal on Saturday. Stanford
is 9-3 on the season after a 67-50
victory over Oregon State on Thurs
day, and the Cardinal have proved
to be a difficult test for the Ducks in
the past. Kent still has not beaten
Stanford in eight tries, and the
Ducks’ losing streak in the series
dates back to 1996.
Oregon will square off with Stan
ford at 3 p.m. Saturday at McArthur
Court.
